Iran warns it will strike Israel and US bases in response to attack on Tehran

Iran has warned it will strike Israel and US military bases if its territory is attacked, a threat issued amidst escalating domestic protests. The warning from Iran's parliamentary speaker, a former IRGC commander, came after US President Donald Trump stated the US was "ready to help" protesters. This has reportedly put Israel on high-alert, following a recent 12-day war between the two nations. A US intelligence official characterized the situation as an "endurance game," with Iranian authorities trying to suppress dissent without provoking foreign intervention.
